Elderly Care Companion

Elderly Companion with Gentleman

Elderly Companionship Services in the UK

For many elderly people there comes a time when they need more support than their own busy families can provide but not so much that a 'trained carer' is required. Furthermore, most elderly people are keen to stay in their own homes for as long as possible before possibly moving into sheltered accommodation or a care home. Elderly companions fill this gap and offer comparatively inexpensive support, security and home-help. Combat Elderly loneliness with Elderly Companionship Services in the UK.

One can expect a KINDER Companion's duties to include:

  • Checking-on elderly person first thing in the morning and last thing at night
  • Reminding the elderly person/s to take any medication
  • Keeping the home clean and tidy
  • Laundry
  • Light ironing
  • Accompanying elderly person/s on errands (eg. doctor, shopping)
  • Alerting emergency services and/ or family in case of accident or sudden illness
  • Providing companionship and sense security to the elderly person/s in their own home (and by extension comfort to their family)
  • Possibly light pet care duties (depending on situation)
  • Possibly driving the elderly person/s (elderly person provides car to facilitate this)
  • Possibly being 'on-call' during the night to offer assistance if required

Duties which lie outside of the Elderly Companion's remit are:

  • Personal care and hygiene
  • Administering of any medications in any form
  • Lifting of the elderly person/s  (if lifting is required a hoist can be arranged and the elderly companion can be trained to use it).

For these duties you will need to engage a trained and qualified carer or care assistant.
